How soon can you express after birth?

Afternoon Ladies, hope you are all well. I was just wondering how soon you can express after birth, I'm really wanting to breastfeed (providing I can), but my husband thinks he will feel a little left out. I thought you could start to express pretty much straight away but I heard someone say you had to wait 6 weeks.
Just wondering if any of you knew?

    Hi Annem 1982,

    I think you can express right away after birth as some people express even before birth.

    Hope this helps
